The current situation with M1 Macs and dual sceens

Hello everyone,

I found this forum in what seems like a infinite search for a fix to my problems.

Firstly, when you order a new Macbook Pro M1 there's no telling it doesn't work with two monitors for some reason. It weird, and makes things unnecessarily complicated.

Secondly, after spending multiple hours searching for drivers, solutions, plugging and replugging, it still doesn't work. I've ordered hubs and usb-connectors for about 600€ from Startech.

Can somebody tell me what is going on? I'm currently running Big Sur 11.6 and DisplayLink Manager 1.5.0 (Build 58.125), Startech Hub TB3DK2DPPDUE and Startech USB-A Displayport USB32DPES2 and still get "No monitor detected" in Displaylink Manager.

I need my two screens ASAP.
